Global Medical Billing Outsourcing Market: Competitive Outlook

One of the most prominent changes that have shaped the global medical billing outsourcing market, as it stands today, is the growing perception among small and mid-sized healthcare firms that outsourcing helps cut operational costs and up efficiency. This trend, in turn, has been spurred by the fact that several healthcare organizations lack the investment capabilities to set up full-fledged IT departments of their own. It is important to note here that the initial cost of investment for the average billing management software is considerably high. Moreover, the outsourcing of billing services is a testament to the trust that a healthcare institution places in the vendor. Thus, the risk of vendors losing customers owing to a data breach or error in billing is high.

It is thus expected that companies in the medical billing outsourcing market will gain new customers in the form of small and medium-sized healthcare entities. Among the key vendors vying for a higher share in the global medical billing outsourcing market are Cognizant Technology Solutions, HCL Technologies, Accenture, and Genpact.
